A drive through the driftless region the other day [View all]

Took a five hour drive through southwest Wisconsin's driftless region on Wednesday, passing through a few small towns and driving along a number of county roads. The number of Trump Pence signs was disturbing and I found myself raising my middle finger as I drove by each home or place of business, quietly telling the inhabitants to go fuck themselves. I wasn't always like this and the simmering anger and fear that rests deep inside me disturbs me... I don't want to hate these faceless people but I do. Stopped at a Casey's for gas and something to drink and of course the people in the store were maybe 50 percent complaint with the mask mandate, the store clerk had hers on her chin. Fucking people. I did see more than a few Biden signs and I hope the number jumps as the days and weeks go by. I'm already sick of the political ads and it is only August, it's going to be a very long fall.

For those unfamiliar with it, the driftless region is gorgeous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftless_Area
